  Technically, all strategy games already are. I want REAL TIME strategy games wherein a 80 years war actually tales 80 years!

    Try XCOM Long War. It will take you 80 years, because you will rage quit a lot.

      Of course he didn’t factor in relativistic effects. A journey to Alpha Centauri would be instantaneous for anyone traveling at light speed.

      I made a proof of concept to see how it would be if you could accelerate/decelerate at a leisurely 9.81 m/s². You would approach light speed in about a year. So if you also needed a year to slow down you could reach just about any destination in the available universe in about two years.

        I think with a play time of 3,000 years they were assuming it'd not be possible to reach a decent fraction of the speed of light with a life sustaining vessel.

        Interesting to know that that is possible, I thought inertia increases with speed so the closer you get to c the more energy input you'd need to sustain acceleration. Maybe that doesn't kick in until well over half c though.

        What type of fuel and how much is required for say a apollo command module type passenger cabin?
